255 Hickling Trail, Barrie

This thoughtfully maintained all-brick home offers just under 2,000 square feet of finished living space in a highly convenient Barrie neighbourhood. Located just minutes from the waterfront, downtown, parks, and major commuter routes, it blends everyday functionality with a warm, inviting feel that’s easy to settle into. Inside, the main level flows effortlessly from room to room. The kitchen was renovated in 2024, while the adjacent breakfast area feels especially cozy with a built-in bench surrounded by rear-facing windows that overlook the yard. The family room spans the entire depth of the home, offering plenty of space to gather, unwind, or entertain. A separate living room provides a place to relax, complete with a wood-burning fireplace that adds character and comfort. The main level also includes a powder room, updated in 2023, inside entry from the garage, and a convenient laundry area. Upstairs, the home offers four well-sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and a beautifully updated ensuite completed in 2021. The second level main bathroom was renovated in 2019, and the hallway and staircase were re-carpeted in 2015. Flooring throughout the home has been refreshed over time with a combination of tile, hardwood, and laminate, creating a clean and cohesive feel from top to bottom. Additional updates include window replacements between 2018 and 2022, a furnace installed in 2017, air conditioning updated in 2016, and newer appliances including a washer (2023), fridge (2024), and dishwasher (2024). Outdoors, the backyard has become a seasonal retreat. An above-ground pool, mature Maple trees, and a grapevine that winds around the fence create a setting that feels private, welcoming, and easy to care for. Whether hosting a summer get-together or enjoying a quiet breakfast on the patio, the space has been designed to feel like a natural extension of the home. With quick access to Highway 400 and Highway 11, and walking distance to Johnson’s Beach, the rail trail, schools, and local favourites like Wickie’s Pub and Salty Blonde Café, this location offers the perfect balance of lifestyle and convenience.
